In the evening, the second lady entered the old lady's courtyard, and when she came out, her face was full of spring breeze, and her silver bell-like laughter could be heard all the way.

Not long after, the eldest lady was called into the house by the old lady, and when she came out, she drooped her face and looked depressed, so everyone in the house speculated that the eldest lady and the second lady lost this round of fighting.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a commotion in Juping Courtyard that night, as if something like glassware had smashed on the ground, but it quickly regained its calm.

"Hehehe......"

In the Mingcui Courtyard, the second lady listened to the maid ring below report that the eldest lady was deflated, and she leaned forward and backwards with laughter, and she almost couldn't breathe.

After laughing enough, the second lady said to Gu Yuanqin, the fourth lady who was sitting opposite her: "Qin'er, look at it, old lady, I'm smart, right? ”

"Mother, what did you say to the old lady?" Miss Gu Si couldn't help but ask when she saw the second lady smiling so proudly.

The second lady said triumphantly: "Qin'er, didn't you say last time that Gu Xiaowu was missing in the palace? ”

"Oh?" The fourth lady was holding a date in her mouth with a silver coat to send to her mouth, and when she heard this, she put it down and looked at the second lady with a smile, "Mother, what did you inquire about?"

As soon as she saw that her shrewd daughter suddenly paid attention to what she said, the second lady immediately came to her senses. said: "Qin'er, I follow your method, and the eyeliner I put in the palace really works." I inquired about it all at once. In fact, what Princess Zhaomin said, what Gu Xiaowu Palace got lost, ran to the back mountain, and then accidentally fell off the cliff is all blame. The truth of the matter is ......"

She looked around and said in a low voice: "Daughter, the truth of the facts turned out to be like this, Gu Xiaowu didn't go to any back mountain that day. Instead, she met King Shou near the Library Pavilion, and King Shou wanted to do wrong to her, and she was in the process of fleeing. I don't know what's going on, which caused a fire in the library pavilion, and anyway, she just took advantage of the fire to escape. I happened to meet Princess Zhaomin on the road. So the princess took her to the princess's mansion and sent her back the next day. ”

The fourth lady shook her head: "No, if she escaped from the palace by taking advantage of the chaos, then the Shangwu I sent out has been guarding the outer gate of the palace all the time, and she should be able to see her, why didn't Shangwu report any news at all?"

The second lady also felt strange, she thought about it: "Could it be that Shangwu dozed off for a while and didn't see Gu Xiaowu?"

The fourth lady shook her head: "Impossible." Although the martial artist is a little loose, it is something I instructed. He would definitely do it for me. If you can't do it, you will give me a letter, in my opinion, I can't find him this time, and Gu Xiaowu came back by himself, which shows that Shangwu definitely didn't meet her, and in this way, it is even more strange that Gu Xiaowu can escape from the palace. ”

The second lady frowned and thought for a while: "Could it be that Gu Xiaowu also has eyeliner in the palace and covers her, so she can come out of the palace smoothly?"

The fourth lady shook her head: "Impossible, if this is the case, the eyeliner on our side will be rewarded." ”

"That's weird. The second lady couldn't think of a reason, "Could it be that Gu Xiaowu has a heavenly spell?"

The fourth lady suddenly remembered something: "Mother, when did the prince become ill?"

The second lady said: "That is, after returning from the banquet of the noble concubine, she fell ill the next day. She looked at the fourth lady strangely, "Daughter, what do you think?"

The fourth lady stepped off the kang, paced back and forth a few steps, paused, and said to the second lady: "Mother, this matter is strange, you said that the prince is sick, is it very strange, the prince's body has always been very good, why is there no symptom, said that he is sick? It's also weird. Moreover, at this time, Gu Xiaowu also disappeared......"

She turned her head suddenly: "Mother, you say, will that Gu Xiaowu be with the prince? And Gu Xiaowu was able to escape, and the prince was helping her?"

The second lady's eyes widened in surprise: "The prince helps Gu Xiaowu?"

The fourth lady said: "A long time ago, our eyeliner reported that there is a secret passage in the palace that leads to the outside, but no one knows where this secret passage is and how it is used. But the crown prince's status is precious, and it is absolutely impossible for him not to know about the things in the palace, so it is not impossible for him to help Gu Xiaowu escape. ”

The second lady still didn't believe it: "The prince will help Gu Xiaowu, why should he help her?"

The fourth lady shook her head, "I don't know either." The appearance of King Shou must have been arranged by the big house, everything was fine, King Shou was misdoing to Gu Xiaowu, and then Gu Xiaowu married King Shou as a concubine, and everyone was happy. But how could a prince come out and save Gu Xiaowu...... Why did he save Gu Xiaowu?"

"Yes, why did he save Gu Xiaowu?" The second lady looked at the fourth lady, and her face was also at a loss.

The fourth lady's eyes widened suddenly: "Could it be ......" She bit her lip fiercely, almost biting her lip to bleed, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

The second lady seemed to have guessed, and looked at the fourth lady with a shocked face: "Daughter, could it be said that the prince is ...... Gu Xiaowu?"

"Absolutely impossible!" the fourth lady quickly interrupted the second lady's words, and she said hatefully, "Even if it is possible, I will make it impossible." ”

"But—" The second lady looked at the fourth lady worriedly. Although in her opinion, the prince and Gu Xiaowu are things that can't be beaten, but the world changes, everything is possible, isn't it? If the prince really has that meaning for Gu Xiaowu, then what should her daughter do?

The fourth lady soon had a calculation: "Mother, don't worry so much. Anyway, I believe that as long as I am a useful person to the prince, as long as I am the most valuable to the prince, it is impossible for the prince not to see me. ”

She turned her head and said to the second lady: "Mother, when will my cousin, grandmother and cousin arrive? ”

The second lady looked at her shrewd and capable daughter flatteringly: "Good daughter, don't worry, my mother has already sent a letter to urge, it's almost over, and it won't be long before I arrive in the capital." ”

"That's good. The fourth lady showed a smile, "Mother, haven't you received a gift from your cousin and grandmother recently? I have seen that gift, it is a jade Guanyin statue, I look at it and think the texture is good, clear and transparent, warm and delicate." I've heard that now the position of the commander of Yu Lin Wei is temporarily in the hands of Lord He Chong, the commander of the cavalry camp under the prince, and this Lord He is in charge, so naturally it will not last long, if there is a current official recommendation, my cousin will be the leader of this Yu Lin Wei will get twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, I also heard that this Lord He is a well-known fearful wife, and the one in his family is a great believer in Buddhism......"

The second lady looked at her daughter and smiled. Of course, she understood what her daughter meant. To be honest, she was indeed a little reluctant to the Jade Guanyin, but after thinking about it carefully, that thing was still given by her sister, and the purpose was also to open up the relationship for her nephew. Now that you can take a line, it is better to send this Jade Guanyin out, which can be regarded as a favor.

So she smiled: "Okay, listen to your good daughter." (To be continued......)
